Tanz

: :Guitarist Tim Sparks ponied up one of the best marriages of solo guitar, jazz, and klezmer with his 1999 CD, Neshamah. With Tanz Sparks takes up a slightly different marriage, this time adding bassist Greg Cohen (a mainstay of John Zorn's Masada and countless other bands) and percussionist Cyro Baptista. Sparks's technique is phenomenal, with touches of John Fahey and Leo Kottke atop a thorough knowledge of the guitar's various traditions.

Midnight Prayer
(more) »rank: 90319by: Joel Rubin
:Album Description:Midnight Prayer brings together two diverse, yet partially overlapping repertoires: the instrumental music of the klezmorim - the professional Jewish instrumentalists who graced every traditional Jewish wedding in Eastern Europe from at least the 16th century onwards - and the mystical nigunim (religious melodies of spiritual elevation) of the hasidic movement. Midnight Prayer creates its own sonic universe, full of depth, virtuosity, playfulness and introspection, exposing the many historical layers of traditional Jewish music through the lenses of the multifarious musical backgrounds of the band's members, ranging from classical to Gypsy to free jazz to contemporary art music. : Resulting in part ...
